The death of a loved one is always a very sensitive matter.

Since we are often approached to conduct the funeral/memorial service of non-Little Falls Christian Centre partners, this places us in an awkward position because our partners of Little Falls will always take preference, and we, therefore, do not want to come across as insensitive during these very difficult times.

(At LFCC, we have an up-to-date database to confirm partnership. Visiting LFCC does not constitute being a partner at LFCC. Please contact the district pastor of the area you reside in to confirm if you are a partner of LFCC)

Every funeral/memorial service therefore requested by non-members of LFCC, will thus be addressed on an ad-hoc basis where the district pastor, at his discretion, may decide to perform the funeral service of a non-partner. This, however, will/can only be performed at a separate venue.

• When a Little Falls Christian Centre partner passes on, the loved ones should contact their district pastor and their cell leader.
• They should preferably inform their district pastor and cell leader before the actual passing of a loved one so that a relationship can be established where a road can be walked with the sickly person and/or their family.
• It is imperative that you first consider matters such as the availability of the church/chapel and the pastor before finalising any matters pertaining to the funeral/memorial service. 
• Only after speaking with your district pastor should you proceed with any other arrangement, and only then should you finalize a date and time for the service.
• Due to problems/concerns with the funeral procession to the gravesite, we would rather suggest that consideration is made to have a family-and-friends service at the gravesite first and then only have the memorial service afterwards at the church. This eliminates any problems of getting to the gravesite in a long procession without Metro Police help and minimizing the risk of unnecessary delays on the day.
• Please note that funerals will only be conducted/administered during the week. We, unfortunately, cannot conduct/administer funerals on Friday afternoons and/or weekends.
• The district pastor will assist as best possible with guidance and advice toward arrangements with the funeral director, the church service and advice afterwards, and guiding you through the relevant details of the funeral/memorial service on a particular day.
• Any costs associated with the funeral to be discussed and agreed upon beforehand with the district pastor.
• We hold a strong view that cremation is not scriptural and thus recommend the burial of a loved one.
